I will start with a RC of Brian Urlacher's 2001 Bowman Chrome

yankeeno7

48 Bowman Phil Rizzuto

Boopotts

1966 Sporting News Nolan Ryan.

"Cool" is a relative term, I think two of the most visually appealing rookie cards are the 1955 Topps Roberto Clemente and 1984 Donruss Don Mattingly

Guru

I like the '48 Goudey Heads Up Bob Feller.

I always liked the 1989 UD Griffey Jr rookie.

Stingray

Always a favorilte of mine:

Steelernation

1980 Ricky Henderson!!!

Very well played.

86 fleer Jordan is a cool card with jordan going up for a dunk, with the old school Chicago jersey.

52 topps Mickey mantle is pretty nice with the bright colored background and the bat just chillin' on his shoulder.

Always like the 86 Fleer Spud Web rookie card, a great image of him going for a dunk.

Coolest looking has to be the 1989 Upper Deck Ken Griffey, Jr. with the gold chain.

scmavl

I agree on the '84 Topps Mattingly. I've also always thought Robin Yount's 75 Topps was very easy on the eyes.

I took "cool" to mean different, flashy, not average or ordinary.

Great topic. I have to go with the 79OPC Gretzky RC. Full body action shot of him gazing up to the scoring gods...plus the simple design and those bright blue borders make the card pop in any sea of cardboard. Stick it among any group of cards and it will be the one that grabs your eye.

Sometimes, a pose just doesn't look right... This is one of them:

WalterSobchak

'84 Fleer Update Puckett. Just a kid who can't wait to get out there and play ball.

Tishasheree

Not a fan of Urlacher, but that is one of the most visually beautiful cards that I have seen. The fans in the background look like fall foliage scenery.

jackstraw

I just love the 81 Moog

bobbyw8469

These are nice looking rookies....

itzagoner

+1 for Broadway Joe. he oozes cool.

habs007

1955 Parkhurst J. Plante[URL=http://s816.photobucket.com/user/habs1975/media/download_zps7cb04b7f.jpg.html][/URL]

I vote the 1986 Fleer Michael Jordan.

wrestlingcardking

I like the Ricky Henderson...........


I like this one considering the era that is came from and very little with actual photos being released. I scored big time by finding this one.

Did you know that Griffey actually isn't wearing a Mariners cap? Linky

AIRBRUSH? Go take a look at the Topps '69 set if you want to see airbrushed caps!

I always thought 86 topps jerry rice was a great looking card.

ldferg

80 Rickey Henderson was always a favorite of mine.

corncobb

The 80 Rickey Henderson and 89 Griffey Jr. are both nice looking rookies, but Im a Football guy so
many of my favorites lay on the Gridiron side of the ball.

TheMick6

For me it's the 54 Aaron. One Rookie I've always thought was ironic is the 59 Gibson I mean its Gibson smiling as big as he can on a PINKISH card! Just doesn't fit him at all.

redlegs

Here is one of my favorite rookie cards

Steelernation

Off the top of my head I think the leaders are..

1980 Rickey Henderson ..3 votes
1986 Jordan..2 votes.

I just remember henderson crouched low..just looks blazing fast on that cardboard. And u know he's gonna be 90 feet away in 3-4 seconds
.. To quote Rickey.."Rickey is the greatest of all time"

MrNearMint

I also think rickey's rc is one of the best, but I think that goes without saying. Such a memorable stance.

I also think kobes got some sweet looking rc's. I've always loved his 96-97 skybox premium rc, and his 96-97 flair showcase class of 96 is way underrated (in my opinion), love the white background.

The 1986 Fleer Jordan was the first one I thought of. Jordan flying through the air... It was what Jordan was all about, at least early on.

"I just love the 81 Moog"

It's never a good pose when the goalie has his head turned
and is looking behind him.

fkw

Hall of Famer Billy Herman has a good looking one....

jay0791

For general poses I love the 84F darryl and 89 Jr.
The plante is exceptional as well.

For being such an iconic card and butterfly version as well I have to go with Joe willie

fkw

always liked this Ted Williams 'rookie' too, 25X scarcer that the other one (1939 PlayBall) and less than 1/4th the $$
